• Title: Two-dimensional symmetry-protected topological phases and transitions in open quantum systems
• Authors: Yuxuan Guo, Yuto Ashida,
• Abstract summary: We investigate the influence of local decoherence on a symmetry-protected topological SPT phase of the two-dimensional (2D) cluster state. We show a topological phase transition of a $mathbbZ(0)timesmathbbZ_2(1)$ SPT phase into the trivial phase occurring at a finite decoherence strength.

• Abstract: We investigate the influence of local decoherence on a symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase of the two-dimensional (2D) cluster state. Mapping the 2D cluster state under decoherence to a classical spin model, we show a topological phase transition of a $\mathbb{Z}_2^{(0)}\times\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{(1)}$ SPT phase into the trivial phase occurring at a finite decoherence strength. To characterize the phase transition, we employ three distinct diagnostic methods, namely, the relative entropy between two decohered SPT states with different topological edge states, the strange correlation function of $\mathbb{Z}_2^{(1)}$ charge, and the multipartite negativity of the mixed state on a disk. All the diagnostics can be obtained as certain thermodynamic quantities in the corresponding classical model, and the results of three diagnostic tests are consistent with each other. Given that the 2D cluster state possesses universal computational capabilities in the context of measurement-based quantum computation, the topological phase transition found here can also be interpreted as a transition in the computational power.

  An exactly solvable Kitaev model in a two-dimensional square lattice exhibits a topological quantum phase transition. We show that features of the dynamical state, such as Loschmidt echo, time-averaged multipartite entanglement, can determine whether the initial state belongs to the topological phase or not.

  We use a 1-dimensional p-wave superconductor as a prototype of a system displaying a topological phase transition. The Hamiltonian of the Kitaev chain manifests two gapped phases of matter with fermion parity symmetry. We show that Krylov-complexity is able to distinguish between the two and provides a diagnostic of the quantum critical point that separates them.

  Two-dimensional quantum Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) type models can be mapped into the partition functions of two-dimensional statistical models. We introduce the universality of the thermofield double (TFD) state, which is a purification of the equilibrium density operator. By expressing the TFD state in terms of the projected entangled pair state, its $N$-order of R'enyi entropy results in a three-dimensional statistical model in Euclidian spacetime.

This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
